Situation - This charming cottage is located in Gulworthy on the Devon/Cornwall border, overlooking the river Tamar and the historic, 16th-century Gunnislake Bridge. Set amongst the lush woodland of the Tamar Valley National Landscape (formerly AONB), there are numerous woodland walks and trails available from the doorstep and in close proximity. Gulworthy also forms part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area offers a very quaint and peaceful, semi-rural lifestyle in some extremely picturesque, verdant surroundings which are home to an abundance of wildlife.

A short distance from the property, in Gunnislake, there are local amenities including an Asda mini-market and fuel station, post office, doctor's surgery and local Pub, with the village additionally benefiting from its own railway station, providing a direct, 25-minute service to Plymouth, and good bus transportation links. Tavistock, 4 miles to the east, is a thriving market town in West Devon, rich in history and tradition dating to the 10th century. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly. The maritime city of Plymouth is located around 20 miles to the south.

Description - This interesting and individual, 3-bedroom cottage is a Grade II listed, single-storey dwelling believed to have originally been associated with the neighbouring toll house over Gunnislake Bridge. It is in need of a reasonable degree of refurbishment and modernisation although contains various characterful details which include timber, slate and mosaic-tiled flooring, bespoke hardwood gothic arch windows with ledged and braced shutters, vaulted ceilings with exposed A-frame and ceiling timbers, interesting fireplaces, exposed granite and stonework, and solid timber ledged and braced doors.

The accommodation is briefly laid out to include a front entrance porch, central hallway, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, utility, and conservatory, with up to three bedrooms (two of which have been modified with mezzanine areas) and a bathroom.

Adjacent to the cottage is a detached 2-bedroom barn conversion with unrestricted residential consent, which is also owned by our clients and available for purchase (advertised under a separate listing with a Guide Price of £400,000). Our clients would consider selling the two properties individually or as a pair in a single transaction. Please contact us for further details. Both properties are available with no onward chain.

Outside - Outside, the cottage has a private garden to the rear which leads into a further area of pretty, light woodland. There is a driveway for two vehicles in addition to separate vehicular access into the wooded grounds which could facilitate extensive further parking with some clearance. The boundaries within the woodland, between the cottage and the neighbouring barn, are to be finalised upon a sale, subject to discussion with the eventual buyer. Opposite the cottage is a further area of wild garden (again, to be the subject of negotiations) containing a timber shed and apple trees which would lend itself to use as a vegetable patch or an allotment-style garden.

Services - Mains water, gas and electricity are connected. Private drainage via septic tank (condition and compliance with current regulations unknown). Superfast broadband is available. Limited mobile voice/data services are available with Three, O2 and Vodafone (Source: Ofcom's online service checker). Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.

Agent's Note - The property is located in an area well-known for its historic metalliferous mining activity. No mine workings are known to exist within the property's boundaries.
